AVOID THIS GARAGE

At a hearing on 12 March 2025, Bath Magistrates’ Court imposed a £10,000 fine on South & West Motors Ltd. The court also ordered the company to pay £811 in compensation to the victims and £7,800 in costs to Bath & North East Somerset Council, resulting in a total financial penalty exceeding £18,000. Councillor Tim Ball, cabinet member for Neighbourhood Services, said: “We are dedicated to protecting residents. If traders misrepresent vehicles or deny consumers their statutory rights, we will act decisively. This prosecution sends a strong message to businesses that noncompliance will not be tolerated.”
